Dear All,
I am thinking of applying to HGSE Special Studies (M.A.) Program for Fall 2015 term. Despite my serious intentions, I do not think I stand a chance to get in. I would really appreciate if you could assess my chances of being admitted:
-Got my B.A. from a private U.S. university in 2013. Despite the university's high ranking (Tier 1), it has been receiving a lot of bad press in the past 5 years....
- 3.0-3.2 GPA
-Currently working at a leading foreign policy research organization in WashingtonDC with top government officials and experts
- Have accumulated a very diverse experience in project management, international education and foreign policy analysis
- Will receive recommendation letters from two internationally acclaimed experts
- Spearheading a multi-million dollar project fresh out of college
- Extensive volunteer experience
- Aptitude for creative writing
- Studying for my GRE
- Taking certified MOOCs in international affairs
- International student
In short, horrible GPA with very interesting work experience. GRE score promises to be in the 85th percentile.
I would love to meet current or past Special Studies Program Students! Introduce yourselves!
I would very much appreciate any feedback
P.S. is it true that HGSE admission rate is 50%? I can not believe that!
